Manchester United held by ten-man Tottenham as woes for both continue

Dominic Solanke rescued a 1-1 draw for 10-man Tottenham to ramp up the pressure on Manchester United boss Michael Carrick on Saturday. Solanke’s stoppage-time header edged Spurs off the foot of the Premier League table after it seemed like they would pay a heavy price for not taking their chances in a dominant display at Old Trafford. Bryan Mbeumo put United in front against the run of play 17 minutes from time before Rodrigo Bentancur was shown a straight red card. But not for the first time this season, Carrick’s men failed to make a man advantage count. Manchester City won 1-0 at Old Trafford last month despite playing for more than an hour with 10 men.
